The iBert safe-T-seat

Why is the iBert safe-T-seat so great?

Better than a bike trailer:

  • Complete interaction with your child
  • Child has a better view
  • No dirt, dust, rocks or water thrown in child's face
  • Better center of gravity - easy to manouver
  • Smaller and easier to attach
  • Less expensive

Better than a rear-mounted bike seat:

  • Interaction with your child - share the joy of riding
  • Child has a better view - no staring at your butt!
  • You can see your child at all times
  • Easier/safer loading and unloading of your child
  • Better center of gravity - ride confidently with your child
  • Sturdy, lightweight construction
  • Easy to install

Better than other front-mounted bike seats:

  • More safety features - sturdy safety bar and robust safety harness
  • Easier to install and remove quickly
  • Doesn't sit so low that your knees hit while pedaling
  • Made in the USA

Installs in minutes

The patented stinger system attaches to your bike in just two minutes. The seat can then be attached to the stinger in 15 seconds. And taking off the seat is just as quick. Buy a second stinger assembly for your spouse's bike and you can switch the seat between the two bikes in a matter of seconds.

Will it fit your kids?

The safe-T-seat is designed for children age 4 and under. The minimum age is approximately 12 months as the child needs to be able to sit up well and hold the weight of a helmet on his/her head. The approximate maximum height of the child that can use the safe-T-seat is 110 cm. Kids much taller than that may be uncomfortable. The recommended max weight is now 15 kg. Above 15 kg and the maneuverability of the bike may be affected.

Will it fit your bike?

The safe-T-seat is the most adaptable child carrier on the market today. It fits more bikes than any other front mounted seat. A minimum of 19 mm is needed on the handle bar stem to accommodate the stinger assembly.

Does the safe-T-seat meet ASTM 1625-00 standards?

Yes and no. The safe-T-seat is designed to meet all 1625-00 standards, which it does. But ASTM 1625-00 is written for rear child carriers so front mounted seats do not apply at this time. One of the goals at iBert Inc. is to petition and work with the ASTM to create a new ASTM standard for all front mounted seats that is above ASTM 1625-00. The recommended weight determined by this standard is 18 kg.

Does the safe-T-seat meet BS EN 14344?

Yes. The British Standard is the safety standard for child seats for cycles. There are 5 main areas the seat was tested for 1) construction, 2) Strength and Durability, 3) Attachment of the seat to the cycle, 4) Restraint System, and 5) Foot guarding and retention. The safe-T-seat has been tested through an independent testing lab and passed all categories of the standard. This standard has determined the max weight to be at 15 kg. The manufacture and composition of the seat itself has not altered. This weight has been determined from a manoeuverability perspective.
